Juergen Teller - Photographer

[lunabella]

does anyone else think he's completely untalented? i mean, if i just started taking random pictures of people without any talent or training, they would look better than teller's. what is his appeal?

He has a great sense for colors. But otherwise, I can't say I'm impressed. He just seems to take pride in making things/people several classes uglier than it already is. That might have been an exciting new concept in 1992, but given that it's just a concept and not pleasurable to the senses, it's about time he moves on.

I really really like him, but I agree that sometimes he just makes people look less attractive. Like the editorial in W with Gisele in exaggerated poses and the current one with the supermodels. But I still love him and think he's talented

Anyways, editorial from The Face, November 1998

I really don't like #146. Its not as artistic as it is disgusting.

What the hell is going on in this shoot:

That's the same shoot that is posted above ... post #146.

He's known for that sort of thing ... and I'm not a prude, but I don't get the point ... it's certainly not fashion, IMHO. But some people think it's very edgy and creative and therefore think it is art. I'm not so sure .....

well you know what they say... "one mans garbage..."

 

[Whitelinen]

I do not see anything wrong in that series of pictures. There's a naked man and a female. That's it. I don't think it is degrading to women or men, in which point my view of it would be negative.

It is quite beautiful and natural in all its ugliness.

 

[iluvjeisa]

I don't think it's upsetting in the least. It's just ugly...

 

[ChrissyM]

i think what the pics in post #146 reallt exhibit is teller's own exhibitionism...
the penis shots are gratuitous imo and i really can't say that i find them beautiful...

i see charlotte rampling as someone who is uninhibited when exposing her body, but she is also sophisticated

it is teller, not rampling, who is spread-eagled and and bending over on top of a piano..

 

[iluvjeisa]

Oh I think it's a post modern satirical take on Newton's classic shots with Rampling from the 70s. Again, I find this to be an annoying waste of resources. I guess it could also be a missplaced exhibition of sympathy for women who have exposed themselves. Yeah, it's just weird how he gets to do so much for such well respected mags. I thought it was because of some physiological special feature, but no, he appears to be within normal range

He looks like a stupid kid begging for attention.
